When she returned to Grande, Louise was occupying the office and receiving clients. Zach listened outside the door for a while and was about to go in, but was stopped by another guest who was at Grande at this time.
"You don't want to go in." Oz Cozier actually walked out of the Grand Entertainment Room with a cup of tea. "The customers inside will be hesitant until now..." Lunch time has passed. , the matter discussed by Louise and the client inside was still the most basic coffin issue. It's impossible for someone to come to the funeral home to talk about things during lunch time, so they must have come in the morning, but for some unknown reason, they postponed it until now and are still talking, "It's because of you."
"Me?" Zach pointed at himself and shook his head in confusion, "I just want to end the discussion quickly and free up the office for you." Of course, as soon as Zach came back, he knew that Oz was here and no one would be fine. Coming to Grande, Zach naturally thought that this mind reader had something to say. So Zach needs an office, and it's a parenting thing—if you can have someone come in and talk, don't say it at the door.
"Well, if you go in, you can definitely get your office back quickly." Oz shook his head helplessly, "But that will make Louise's whole morning's talk in vain."
"Why?" Zach glanced at the closed office door and continued to listen to the conversation inside. It seemed like there was nothing special - the emotionally unstable family members of the deceased, under the guidance and comfort of Louise, made little decisions and... The last thing the deceased participated in this world.
"Uh-" Oz twitched his lips in embarrassment, "How about I quote the voice of the person in it?" Without Zach's need to answer, the mind-reader said, "'Why is Barton's only traditional funeral industry in such a state? In the hands of a despicable person.'" Then shut up and look at Zach's face.
Zach raised his eyebrows and understood. Everyone was right, Kate’s article really affected public opinion. And nothing better reflects the role of public opinion than a customer who really needs to 'use' the funeral industry. Like the clients in his office now, he was probably on the verge of giving up on the idea of traditional funerals altogether at any moment. Oz was right, Zach shouldn't have gone in there.
Zach pushed the door open.
The real beauty of the citizen game is that the guys who play the citizens are our vampires—guys who aren't entirely bound by the rules of the game. So, just like any player who plays a game, he occasionally breaks away from the rules of the game and does something willful -
"You will experience a perfect funeral experience, oh, I mean, your..." The red eyes were slightly tilted toward Louise.
"Father. His father is deceased." Louise added.
"Your father will experience it, not you." His red eyes returned to the stunned client, "And you will be grateful and even feel lucky that you chose Grande, the only traditional funeral industry in Barton. Any comments you have read that slander Grande Funeral Home, or Grande’s owner, will be despised and spurned by the fact that you and Grande have perfect cooperation.”
Zach touched his chin and actually looked at Oz, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
Oz actually smiled, "He has a cousin who is very averse to traditional funerals, which is why he hesitated in Grande."
Zach thought for a moment, "Uh, cousin, it's irrelevant. And it's a personal wish." He waved his hand, "No need to change." Then he looked at Louise, "If someone like this appears in the future, it's just a matter of personal preference." Do this without wasting energy. Our job is to give a satisfactory funeral, so let our job speak for itself, give the other person an idea to ignore the immediate thoughts and focus on the consequences later, and then do our job normally. Others Yes, it’s just a waste of time, you know.”
Louise blinked and nodded.
Zach, the redness in his eyes faded, and at the same time, he exited the office without any surprise. When it comes to normal funeral home work, our Zach’s enthusiasm is about as high as it gets. He glanced at Oz and said, "Sorry, let's go to the recreation room." After all, looking at Oz holding tea, he was already very comfortable there.
Oh, and Sam isn't with Zach right now. On the way back, Zach gave Sam a new order, asking him to send Siying to find Dora and Bumi, and inform Zach of his conjecture. It would be best if he could just tell Sibella casually. After all, interpreting Papa The expert on midnight behavior lies with Sibella—John.
Sam went without further hesitation. Zach maliciously guessed that he was probably going to steal John's research results selfishly...
When they came to the entertainment room, Mo was also here, holding the same tea cup as Oz, curled up on the sofa in a very relaxed way, staring at the soap opera on the TV.
"Haha, Miss Mo and I had a very pleasant conversation."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Pleasure."
"Obviously, Miss Mo's thoughts are all in Republican language, which I can't 'read', so, unexpectedly, this conversation was very pleasant."
Ozzy was probably the only one who thought she was happy. Mo curled his lips and rolled his eyes, "Yes, it's very pleasant." Mo also knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he got off the sofa and set up the video recorder to record her. soap opera. Then he told the two guys who stayed in the entertainment room, "Don't tell me who killed Sophia's lover!" and left.
Zach looked at the tangled picture on the TV screen speechlessly, pressed mute, and looked at Oz, "Then, why are you here?"
"Haha, I should have come earlier." Oz sat down on the sofa and put down the tea that had gone cold. "But as you can imagine, I have been very busy recently."
Zach did not deliberately block Oz's reading, because it was unnecessary, and indeed, Zach thought about many things in that moment. The first is naturally the Sabbat's plan for Georgina, and then the Sabbat's plan for the West Enders. These are all things that require this mind-reader to travel around and arrange.
Oz continued, "Now that everything has calmed down, or, I can say, the results are about to come out, I can also relax a little bit, so I think I should come and clarify some things."
Zach raised his eyebrows, nodded, and then shook his head. Oz can think that he is relaxed. After all, Georgina's matter has already blossomed on James' side, and Fisher, who is the first to bear the brunt of the Sabbat's plan against the West Enders, has been forced into a corner. It will be good if it proceeds smoothly. However, Zach knew that it was wrong. The arrangement that Zach had just made made it clear to Zach that it was not time for Oz to relax yet. It is expected that today, or tomorrow at the latest, the West Enders will bring the discussed plan. Found him.
Likewise, Zack wasn't thinking about blocking the opponent's read.
Oz's expression became very strange, and he was silent for a long time, "This... this is really amazing..."
Zach smiled, "So, you don't care at all, and I just sold your dissatisfaction with the Sabbat to Mrs. Quinn?"
"I don't care at all!" Oz raised his eyebrows, with a look of amazement still praising Zach's ability to create trouble. "My only concern about rebelling from the Sabbat is that Barton's cohesion is not enough. Those West End families are seemingly intact. , but they are too comfortable and have never considered that someone is targeting, separating, or weakening their power. You, hehe, you~"
Oz didn't know where the courage came from, and actually touched the tip of Zack's nose, "Not only did it make them aware of the potential danger, but it also brought them together. I wouldn't say that they have a chance of winning against the Sabbat, but At least there is resistance..." Noticing that Zach was completely surprised that he couldn't react, Oz's own expression changed, "Uh, I'm sorry, I, I have no idea why I did this..." He was just staring like this. He touched Zach's finger just now and fell into deep thought.
Zach frowned, not knowing why. He sat a little further away from Oz, waved his hand, and quickly changed the subject, "There will be no problem with Fisher, as long as the West Enders can control Acerra , with your secret help from Kozier..."
Oz shook his head a little harder, not to refute Zach, but to throw away his completely clueless thinking. He simply turned his hand away and looked back at Zach, "Liszt is going to be finished. The Sabbat's plan has been completely reversed. ..." The smiling face that had just recovered wrinkled again and looked at Zach, "Isn't Liszt finished yet?" -
Zack, who opened his mind to the mind reader, really didn't need to waste his time, Oz could read it himself.
Communicating with mind readers is so convenient! But you have to have Zach's perspective to face it calmly, so forget it.
"James!" Oz raised his eyebrows, and the hands behind his back seemed to be ready to move again, "James will not let Liszt ruin it~" He was just lamenting what he read, "James, Haha, his irreversible character prevents him from allowing this to happen... and makes the Sabbat think that 'Georgina' is starting to work..."
The mind-reader can start a show on his own. His face changed again in an instant, this time a little serious, and he frowned, "But what is James going to do? Moreover, won't this make him offend all the people in the West District?" Then he began to shake his head, "If the Sabbat thinks they If we need to continue to send people or forces to help James, it will be very bad for us."
Zach didn't respond at all, giving him a 'read me but don't touch me' look.
"What? James called you this morning?" It immediately turned into a surprise, "Really?! That's really... really... well, no, perfect!"
Zach, now a little more engaged, shrugged, "I guess a date was just what James needed, to relax and get his head in the right place. One night, he had an epiphany."
There is a key issue here, James' phone call in the morning, the phone call just as Mrs. Quinn left. What did James say, the truth? —
A few minutes before he called Zach, Kate suddenly sat up from the messy bed, then panicked and walked around James' big bed several times. In the end, she still didn't dare to touch James who was pretending to be sleeping, covered only by a quilt. Ms., you ran away in some messy clothes
No no no. James didn't tell the truth and was shameless. In every sense. Therefore, James had to explain that after hearing the sound of the iron door closing downstairs, he quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed something and wrapped it around his waist, then ran downstairs in a state of confusion and dialed the phone number instinctively. Reason for phone call.
James said on the phone, "I, uh, I didn't sleep all night... I, uh..." mixed with Zach's intrusive 'Oh? Bad date? Sorry, don't be discouraged... 'No! Uh! Can you stop talking about my date!!' 'Uh, okay. What to be excited about. You made the call, you decided the topic, I shut up, are you satisfied? "Uh... uh... I..." and hung up.
But it's not over. Those who are interested can study James' psychology at the time. Only five minutes later, James called again and said the following-
"I, uh, I thought about, uh, what you said yesterday all night long!" This was a process of words changing from sporadic to smooth. "I won't let you mess around in Barton! Uh, I won't let you frame anything. Liszt didn't do it! If necessary! I will find Darcy to stop you... "
Was slightly interrupted by Zach, "Director Darcy, attitude, James, attitude."
"*! Don't interrupt me!"
Continue to interrupt, "I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt, James. I tell you my plan because I trust you. If you tell Director Darcy this, it would be a betrayal." Zach also said at the time It was pretty quick, because Little Pink was already honking the horn in the backyard. Zach is going to Repute with Alice and Maya. No one has forgotten what happened.
"Uh... I won't mention you! I will just say... uh, the West End people found out! That's okay!!"
"That's good~"
"Of course, then! I, I uh... I thought about Falcon for a while! Oz is right, Falcon is next, I, I need..."
"It's okay, James." Under Laughing Pink's continuous urging, Zach said, "You can do whatever you want, remember, we are in the same boat."
"*! That's all! I called you just to tell you this!! Hang up!" Hang up, there is no third call.
Now, with this key question out of the way, back to Zach and the mind readers.
Oz: "It's perfect now. If Darcy takes action, Liszt will be fine. He is the police chief, and he can cover up all the adverse evidence arranged by the West End people against Liszt!" Still sighing, "Darcy Xi will also think that he is working closely with James to save the Liszt trained by the Sabbat in Barton!"
Zach nodded, "That's it. With Darcy taking care of everything at the police station, the Sabbat doesn't need to send anyone over, and there's no reason for the West End people to have other ideas about James, because, haha, Darcy is there to take care of it. James is just a police detective, right?"
"Yes!" Oz looked at Zach, but couldn't control his hand and began to move towards Zach.
Zach stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong with your hand?" He stared at Oz's hand that had been stretched out into the air, facing his fingertips, which seemed to be squirming out of control of the mind reader... It was a bit disturbing. uncomfortable.
"Haha..." Oz looked calm at this time, "There is nothing wrong with it. I just discovered it. When I first came to Barton, I was curious about the relationship between Barton's alien races and humans. This was completely different from the West. Where is the root cause of the coexistence model?" The uncomfortable finger pointed at Zach's chest, "It's you."
"You misunderstood." Zach took away Oz's hand, "The psychiatrist Emilia who made you curious, she and her ghoul boyfriend have nothing to do with me."
"Haha, you're wrong. Amelia and I had a very private conversation." Mind-reading sense, don't get it wrong, "It's you. Ghoul Harrison is because of you and Alpha, and now the Mayor It was only with the arrival of Anthony and your initial interracial agreement that you gave up the simple life of a ghoul and became a citizen working in a shelter, a 'human', and met Emilia. It was because of you." (.)
